Combined sheeting roller
- Efficient flaking: The corn flaking combined roller is composed of multiple rollers with different functions or structures. Working together, it can flake corn more effectively, improve production efficiency, and increase the output of corn flaking per unit time.
- Good flaking quality: The corn flaking combined roller can accurately control the thickness, density and uniformity of corn flaking by adjusting the parameters of each roller in the combined roller, such as pressure, speed, pattern, etc., so that the quality of the pressed corn flakes is more stable and meets the requirements of different users for the quality of corn flakes.
- Strong adaptability: The corn flaking combined roller can adapt to corn raw materials of different varieties, humidity and particle size. For corn with different characteristics, a good flaking effect can be achieved by changing the working mode or parameters of the combined roller, reducing production problems caused by raw material differences.
- Low maintenance cost: The combined design of the corn flaking combined roller makes each roller relatively independent. When a roller is worn or fails, only the corresponding single roller needs to be replaced, without replacing the flaking equipment as a whole, which reduces maintenance costs and downtime and improves equipment utilization.
- Diverse functions: In the flaking process, in addition to the basic flaking function, the corn flaking combined roller can also integrate other functions, such as preliminary crushing, pre-pressing, shaping, etc. of corn, reducing the use of other auxiliary equipment on the production line, simplifying the process flow, saving production space and equipment investment costs.
Design of structure of combined roller for corn flake pressing
- Multi-roller combination: usually composed of two or more rollers, the most common is a double roller combination. The diameter and length of the roller are designed according to different production requirements, such as the common roller with a diameter of 500-600mm and a length of about 1500mm.
- Adjustment device: equipped with an adjustment mechanism, such as a hydraulic system or a screw adjustment device, which can accurately adjust the gap between the rollers to control the thickness of the corn flakes.
Material selection for corn flake combination roller
- Roller material: generally made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials such as high nickel-chromium alloy. The thickness of the alloy layer is usually 35-40mm, which can ensure the wear resistance and stability of the roller under long-term high pressure and high-speed operation, and extend its service life.
- Surface treatment: The surface of the roller is finely processed and treated, and some are brushed to increase the friction with the corn, so that the corn can be better extruded and shaped during the pressing process, while ensuring the surface quality of the extruded corn flakes.
How it works
The corn flakes combined rollers are driven by a motor to rotate the rollers. When the corn raw materials enter the gap between the rollers, they are squeezed and rubbed by the two rollers and pressed into flakes. By adjusting the gap, speed, pressure and other parameters of the rollers, the thickness, density and quality of the corn flakes can be controlled.
Corn flake combination roller performance parameters
- Production capacity: Small equipment may produce from a few hundred kilograms to several tons per hour, while large industrial production lines can produce 10 tons per hour or even higher. For example, a production line with a daily output of 200-240 tons has an hourly output of about 10 tons.
- Power configuration: The motor power varies according to the production capacity and equipment scale. The motor power of small equipment may be 2.2-7.5kW, while that of large production lines can reach tens of kilowatts or even higher, such as a large corn flake production line with a total power of about 260kW.
Corn flake combination roller application areas
It is mainly used in the feed processing industry to produce feed for ruminants such as cattle and sheep. It can improve the digestibility of corn, increase the palatability of livestock, and thus improve breeding efficiency. It is also used in the food processing industry to produce breakfast cereals, corn flakes snacks and other products.
